This is probably stupid user error, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to access the files that are staged by the init-container.
I'm trying to run the SparkR example data-manipulation.R which requires the path to its datafile. I supply the hdfs location via --files and then the full hdfs path. --files hdfs://192.168.0.1:8020/user/jhoole/flights.csv local:///opt/spark/examples/src/main/r/data-manipulation.R hdfs:// 192.168.0.1:8020/user/jhoole/flights.csv The init-container seems to load my file. 18/02/26 18:29:09 INFO spark.SparkContext: Added file hdfs:// 192.168.0.1:8020/user/jhoole/flights.csv at hdfs:// 192.168.0.1:8020/user/jhoole/flights.csv with timestamp 1519669749519 18/02/26 18:29:09 INFO util.Utils: Fetching hdfs:// 192.168.0.1:8020/user/jhoole/flights.csv to /var/spark/tmp/spark-d943dae6-9b95-4df0-87a3-9f7978d6d4d2/userFiles-4112b7aa-b9e7-47a9-bcbc-7f7a01f93e38/fetchFileTemp7872615076522023165.tmp However, I get an error that my file does not exist. Error in file(file, "rt") : cannot open the connection Calls: read.csv -> read.table -> file In addition: Warning message: In file(file, "rt") : cannot open file 'hdfs://192.168.0.1:8020/user/jhoole/flights.csv': No such file or directory Execution halted Exception in thread "main" org.apache.spark.SparkUserAppException: User application exited with 1 at org.apache.spark.deploy.RRunner$.main(RRunner.scala:104) at org.apache.spark.deploy.RRunner.main(RRunner.scala) If I try supplying just flights.csv, I get a different error --files hdfs://192.168.0.1:8020/user/jhoole/flights.csv local:///opt/spark/examples/src/main/r/data-manipulation.R flights.csv Error: Error in loadDF : analysis error - Path does not exist: hdfs:// 192.168.0.1:8020/user/root/flights.csv; Execution halted Exception in thread "main" org.apache.spark.SparkUserAppException: User application exited with 1 at org.apache.spark.deploy.RRunner$.main(RRunner.scala:104) at org.apache.spark.deploy.RRunner.main(RRunner.scala) If the path /user/root/flights.csv does exist and I only supply "flights.csv" as the file path, it runs to completion successfully. However, if I provide the file path as "hdfs:// 192.168.0.1:8020/user/root/flights.csv," I get the same "No such file or directory" error as I do initially. Since I obviously can't put all my hdfs files under /user/root, how do I get it to use the file that the init-container is fetching? Thanks, Jenna
